The oxidation state of aluminium in potash alum is 3
3
if the mass of the Al metal is 0.0861g, and the mass of the potash Alum is 1.1g. what's the theoritical yield of the potash alum?
Potash alum helps to precipitate contaminants from water.
The sulfur in potash alum occurs in sulfate ions, which have the formula SO4-2. Since sulfur is less electronegative than oxygen, the oxygen has an oxidation number of -2; 4 atoms of oxygen give a total negative charge of -8, and the sulfur atom must have an oxidation number of +6 to match the -2 charge of the sulfate ion as a whole.

No, they are not Organic compounds, but Inorganic. They are basically categorizes as double salts. They can be prepared by making saturated solutions of the two salts separately and finally mixing them after crystallization they will be formed, The chemical formula of Potash alum is K2SO4. Al2(SO4)3.24H20. Notice that they have no carbon, which is important in Organic compound.

Potash alum is another name for potassium alum. Alum is a class of molecular compounds, and included in the class is potassium alum. So, they are not the same thing, but yet very similar in that potash alum is a member of the alum class.
add aq. potassium sulphate to aq. aluminium sulphate then kept it for atleast 24 hrs....after that u ll get alum crystals....
potash alum is usually used for water purification because it has the ability to stick together negatively charged colloidal parts and alum makes the colloidal particles neutral by making aluminium ions neutral this way pure water is obtained.

Yes u can!
An alum stone is a subsulphate of alumina and potash - also known as alunite.
Potash alum has the effect of a poison on the body. It has been linked to the incidence of Alzheimer's disease in people who have used it as a deodorant.
